JUICING (Fat Sick and Nearly Dead Inspired)

adams0029

I watched the same video and ran out an bought a juicer. My whole family loves it but we are much like the others on here, in that we did it well for about a week then now it isn't as consistent just due to the clean up and time required. But we keep trying, I love that my kids like to drink this juice and they even like the juices with veggies. I still think it is a great idea and probably the best way to supplement a healthy diet.

I might be missing something really obvious, but can I ask what the big benefit is of juicing? This is a genuine question, I would just think that if I had a big pile of fruit and veggies in front of me I would get a lot more benefit from just eating them than putting them in a juicer.

I can understand that you can pack a lot of different things into a single glass with juicing but surely you dont get the same satiety of eating whole foods. Is the primary idea to supplement a mineral deficient diet for those that cant stomach eating real veggies?

Could someone please enlighten me on this one? I've just never really understood the juicing craze.

Thanks.

So I am on week two of the juicer(blender) fasting.. Ive decided to only do half and half, so i have the drinks in morning and afternoon with one with supper. At dinner i will have a large salad with about half the meat size i used too. I have lost about 5lbs now as i gained two pounds back last weekend when I was having lack of sleep with my daughter as i was so tired and had junk food plus pizza on saturday night, so I was at 7.2 lbs lost ( in 5 days) until my melt down ! When I am tired i crave fatty foods like pizza but I am back to it now and feel way better and more regular ! will update next week.

here is the blender type drink I am doing :

-Minute maid frozen orange juice about 2 cups (sometimes i use one water and one orange juice)
-mixed frozen fruits with extra blueberries
-about 2 cups of baby spinach
-about 8 baby carrots

** For salads i use mixed greens and add multi-grain coutons With Kraft zesty Italian dressing
** And during the day I will snack on unsalted nuts and carrots plus other raw veggies.

If i am hungry I will have two cups of the drink and that usually does the job! my doctor said I should be having no more then 1400 calories a day so i still keep around 1300 calories in totally..

they might be able to answer your questions .

Im doing the juicer fasting as you can add way more fruits and veggies into one drink then you can actually eat at one sitting before getting full

I LOVE my juicer. I got it this summer, and have used it quite a bit.
I tried the full on "Juice Fast" but couldn't do it. But I will tell you that it gave me a TON of energy.

I plan on using it again later this week to supplement my diet. I'll just have to figure out how many calories per glass :-)

I bought the Breville Juice Fountain Plus

(I got mine from Bed Bath and Beyond, though, so I could use my 20% off coupon).

This is an awesome juicer and comes with the pitcher that separates the foam. Really love it.

It even takes a whole apple, so you don't have to slice it up first.
Plus - regardless of the leafy greens I use (kale, spinach, etc), as long as I add just a little fruit, the taste is really good.
